Chapter 68: I Will Let You Die Beautifully
“Stop him!” Lucy screamed.
With that, her two bodyguards leaped at David and tried their best to block him despite knowing that they weren’t a match for him.
David nimbly dodged their attacks and seized their wrists. With that, he activated Focus Technique, and the inside of his diaphragm became a vortex that sucked the two bodyguards’ lifeforce away.
When they realized that their energies were being drained by David, they struggled to break free from his grasp. Nevertheless, it was pointless.
Within ten to twenty seconds, the remaining two bodyguards became dried-up corpses.
“W-What happened?” Kane asked in shock.
“G-Ghost! You’re a ghost! You’re not human! You’re not human!” Lucy screamed at the sight of the two mummified bodies in front of her.
David looked at Kane and Lucy coldly as he asked, “Where is the girl you kidnapped?”
“G-Girl! S-She’s in the room!”
Lucy stuttered as she answered in fear while pointing at the other mansion with her shaking finger.
“Take me there!” David snapped coldly.
“O-O-Okay,” she stammered without a trace of arrogance from before.
Kane and Lucy led David to where Yasmin was. At that moment, both of them were trembling and didn’t intend to escape as they knew that they wouldn’t be able to run away.
In the beginning, they thought that they could exchange a few blows with David just because they knew some martial arts. However, they dismissed that idea immediately after what they had seen earlier.
Lucy opened the door when they reached the room.
Yasmin had been crying the entire time in the room. When she heard someone unlock the door, she lifted her head and looked in the direction of the door. The moment she saw David, she felt like she was saved.
“David...” Yasmin uttered as she ran toward him.
“Thank you for helping Josephine. I’m sorry that you had to go through all that,” David said to her sincerely.
Lucy was confused by what they were saying, but she didn’t say anything.
“David, since she’s here and unhurt, let’s just call it even today, shall we? As long as you let us go, we’ll do anything you want,” Kane pleaded with an agonized expression.
“Do you honestly think that I’ll believe what you say?” David chuckled coldly.
Before Kane knew it, David delivered a punch to his head, and he died immediately. There was no chance for Kane to dodge David’s attacks because he was too weak. With that, blood splattered everywhere and across Lucy’s face.
“Y-You...”
Hatred and anger filled Lucy’s eyes. She tried to say something but couldn’t.
“Don’t worry. I know that you want to look pretty, so I won’t blast your head off. I’ll make you die beautifully,” David said to Lucy, who still had her face mask on.
Right after that, David grabbed Lucy’s neck.
Lucy tried her best to get out of his grasp, but it was no use. In the end, she stopped breathing.
David remained expressionless when he looked at Kane and Lucy’s bodies. As for Yasmin, she was completely terrified and was trembling uncontrollably while grabbing onto David.
“Please wait for a little longer. Once I’m done with another person, I’ll bring you home,” David assured Yasmin as he walked into another room.
Meanwhile, Tyrion was watching some videos on his phone with earphones on as he prepared to relieve himself after Lucy’s previous interruption.
Tyrion, who was completely focused on his phone, didn’t realize David was walking into his room until the latter took his phone away.
The next moment, David threw Tyrion’s phone onto the ground. Tyrion jumped at the sound of that.
When he saw David in his room, he tried to get down from the bed and run away, but he fell to the ground immediately. He had forgotten that his leg was crippled.
“D-David, h-h-how did you get in?” Tyrion asked in fear.
However, David ignored Tyrion completely when he saw a jade pendant on Tyrion’s bed.
The next moment, David walked up to Tyrion’s bed and picked the jade pendant up. There was some spiritual energy in the jade pendant.
‘Oh? I didn’t expect to land a magical item here.’
Immediately, he put the jade pendant into his pocket and turned to Tyrion.
“David, i-if you like that jade pendant, you can take it. A-And you can take anything you want from my room. You’d better leave as soon as possible because you may not get the chance to leave if my mom and dad find out that you’re here!”
Tyrion knew that the best way to survive was to chase David away because he had no way to fight back if David attacked him.
“Your mom and dad?” David asked with a cold expression. After that, he grabbed Tyrion and walked out of the room.
Once they got to the room which held Yasmin captive, he threw Tyrion to one side. “Your mom and dad are here. I’m being kind today, so I’ll let all three of you die together!”
Tyrion was completely dumbfounded when he saw his parents’ bodies.
“David, please don’t kill me ... Please let me go! I’ll do anything you ask me to! I’ll give you the entire Whitaker family too! Please have mercy!” Tyrion begged.
David lost interest in torturing Tyrion at that moment. Therefore, he lifted Tyrion with one hand and punched the latter with the other.
Bang!
David’s fist went through Tyrion’s body in an instant. Tyrion widened his eyes, and he lowered his head to look at his chest in disbelief.
The next moment, Tyrion’s body slumped onto the ground, and blood gushed out from his chest. With that, David went to clean himself up before he lit the entire mansion on fire.
“Let’s go,” he said to Yasmin.
She nodded and tried to walk. However, the moment she took a step forward, she almost fell.
There was no way she could walk properly with her jelly-like legs after witnessing such a bloody scene. David went to carry Yasmin when he noticed that. Then, he walked toward his car.
Yasmin wrapped her arms around David’s neck tightly, and her heart raced in response to their intimacy. She was blushing, yet he seemed indifferent to it.
Yasmin nestled her head closer to David’s chest as she felt safe and comfortable there.
Her face grew hotter after she sneaked a glance at David. Yasmin noticed that something within her had changed. She liked how he carried her. At that moment, she wished that she was David’s girlfriend instead of Josephine.
David was completely oblivious to what she was thinking. He rushed back to Yeringham immediately. During the entire trip, Yasmin looked at him with admiration the whole time.
Meanwhile, the Whitaker residence was engulfed in flames, and everything was gone. Because of that fire, things in Summerbank would change, and a bloody battle would begin soon.
Back at Yeringham, Josephine stayed up through the night worrying about David.
At the same time, the hotel owner was terrified when he saw the number of people Tommy had assigned to surround his hotel. Indeed, Tommy had gotten his people to go from Horington to Yeringham in a hurry to protect Josephine.
As dawn lined the horizon in faint yellow, that was when David had finally arrived in his severely damaged car. Naturally, Josephine got anxious when she saw the state of the car when he arrived.
As soon as David had gotten out of the car, Josephine rushed into his arms and asked concernedly, “Are you all right, David? Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine! How could the puny Whitaker family ever hurt me?” David smiled faintly.
Right then, Yasmin was also getting out of the car. Her heart ached a little when she saw David and Josephine embracing.
“Yasmin, a-are you all right?” Zeke rushed toward her and hugged her upon seeing that she had been saved.
However, Yasmin shoved him aside coldly. “I’m fine!” Zeke was baffled.
‘Why is she so cold toward me?’
“Thank you, Yasmin! Thank you so much for saving me!” Josephine let go of David and hugged Yasmin to express her gratitude.
“Silly! Of course, I had to protect you! Actually, I should be the one thanking you instead.” Yasmin smiled slightly before instinctively casting David a gaze.
Josephine looked at Yasmin with bewilderment written all over her face.
‘What does she mean? Why should she be thanking me?’
Upon noticing the look on Josephine’s face, Yasmin explained, “I should thank you for having such an amazing boyfriend! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been saved!”
Although Yasmin said it with a joking tone, she meant it sincerely. David’s appearance had shown her what kind of boyfriend she needed in her life.
“Stop tooting his horn, Yasmin! He’s going to be so full of himself!” Josephine laughed.
Everyone felt a sense of relief since David and Yasmin both returned safely. Besides, Josephine’s words managed to put a smile on everyone’s face.
